- Albon celebrates first DTM career win with Nürburgring masterclass!
Thai driver Alex Albon celebrated the first DTM win of his career in Sunday's race eight at the iconic Nürburgring circuit to move up to fourth overall in the title race.
Following a difficult race seven on Saturday, Sunday's race could not have gone better for Albon as he managed difficult, wet conditions in his #23 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 to top qualifying.
He remained calm during the race, despite numerous incidents and safety car periods, crossing the line after 38 laps with a lead of 4.6 seconds to record his first DTM series career victory and third 2021 trip to the podium following third-place finishes at Zolder and Monza.
Albon, 25, said: "A great day for the team, and for me too! Zolder had already gone well and we took another big step forward here and that after being essentially nowhere on Saturday. We were pondering that for a long time in the evening. We went in the right direction with the set-up today and we were rewarded with the win. I hope that we can take this momentum to the home race at the Red Bull Ring."
Ahmet Mercan, CEO of Red Bull's premium fashion brand AlphaTauri, added: "First DTM race victory! Congrats to Alex and the team. We are excited about a successful weekend in the 2021 DTM season."
While Albon's race eight victory on Sunday was a welcome bounce back from race-ending suspension problems on Saturday, teammate Liam Lawson did not enjoy the same turn of luck.
In race seven, the young New Zealander spun after a rival car made contact, falling way back through the field. He battled his way to the line, but missed out on points after finishing 13th.
Race eight also did not go as planned for Lawson. Starting in midfield, he was involved in multiple incidents that forced him to make extra pit stops and eventually retirement with suspension problems.
Lawson, 19, said: "A frustrating Sunday race to round off a frustrating weekend for us overall. I actually made a very good start today and we timed my pit stop well. When I came back out, I was in a battle with Maximilian Götz. Unfortunately, there was contact and he opened up my rear tyre so I had to come back in and continue on used tyres. I still managed to make a good restart and battled my way forward however there was then some chaos in the chicane during the battle with an Audi."
The points awarded for pole position and the race eight win see Albon move up now to fourth spot in the 2021 drivers' standings with 82 points as Lawson drops to fifth place on 80 points.
After eight races, Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse has scored 162 points and is in second place in the team standings with the next DTM stop from September 3-5 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

What's your favorite moment in this week's episode? 🤔
2:31 "you are glowing in the dark" 😂😂
Driver duo's taking each other around the Nürburgring is always great. Also the final helicopter shot should go on for a minute or two, great outro shot, that countryside is beautiful.
Alex and Lily moment😊
I'll tell you what's my least, getting punted out of turn 2, just because it's happened to me so many times. Gutted for Lawson, of course the best is seeing Albon get a win!
The Nurburgring passenger rides in traffic. So funny
Alex Albon casually laughing with one hand on the wheel whilst flooring it around the track…..love that 😂
Casually upshifting 😂
That made me nervous as hell, like "LOOK AT THE TRACK MAN"
Driving in F1 probably does that to you
@@okbutwhocares Probably felt like driving a mom's spacewagon lol
Timestamp?
It would be great if Williams accepts Red Bull's proposal and accepts Albon into their team. He deserves another shot at f1.
EDIT: It's done deal bois! Albono is back!
AMEN
Yeah, and since Williams stated they don't need pay drivers anymore, a talented young driver like Albono is a no brainer
Amen indeed. Let's just cross our fingers for next year.
Albon and De Vries could be the most exciting lineup in the last few years. I think Latifi is good in the seat too though
Bottas and Albon will be a really good team
The in-sync scream at 13:40 really does it for me
😂😂😂
Alex always looks so aloof at those team events but he is beaming around the paddock. True driver
I can see exactly what you mean. He does always look at home near the cars
Alex looks like he'd actually be fun to talk to, Liam comes across like a little bit of a prick to me, in the short little views we get of both of them.
@@hunterdelgado2402 I think it's just Liam being an Aussie/New Zealander, I liked him though. Seems like a nice guy to talk with
@@tommegg8486 he's a New Zealander. Don't mix us up 😅.
@@Bozza36 ahaha, my bad mate sorry!
I like how normal people on the Nurburgring are so focused and here’s Alex and Liam laughing and chatting while absolutely shredding it 😂 prob slow motion for them
One hand on the wheel, laughing hysterically at 100+ mph.... I think Liam forgot that Alex has F1 level skills.
I found so funny that Alex was having oversteering problems in the beginning because he was trying to go flat on corners. F1 people problems
i love to see albon no matter where he is.
I will say props to Red Bull for this series following the two of them. Been years since I had watched DTM, but it has gotten me back into it - following Albon from F1
Love how serious Alex is when Lily was in the car.
I think that's Alex's future solution when the two of them want to start a fight in a car LOL
Alex: (Serious mode on)+(Full throttle on the Gas)
"it was like o o and then it was like oooh" Alex Albon, famous for his great feedback. (Just kiddin´, I love you Albono)
FINALLY ANOTHER EPISODE. Been checking the channel every day for the last week and a half for a new episode.
me too
Worth the wait?
@@RedBullMotorsports oh yeeaah :) the 20 minutes feels like three minutes or so
@@RedBullMotorsports worth the wait every single time
You should put on post notifications, you won’t have to come back just wait
Letsgoo Albon hope to see you next year back in F1 you deserve it👀
Best thing is that he's apparently rumored to be Williams' top pick for a driver, but Horner and Toto are competing to get De Vries Vandoorne and Albon in
@@evanyoon1230 de vries is rumoured to replace gio at Alfa and the chances of stiffer returning are very low so I think Alex has a good chance to be a williams
Williams wohoooo
@@aidan4473 so it'd be a De Vries/Bottas pairing at Alfa and Albon/Latifi at Williams?
George will push everything he can for it to happen
Lawson: Scares Alex
Alex: Scares himself and Lawson
Achievement unlocked: Ultimate scared person.
idk why, but i love albon so much. such a good natured guy .. makes it all too easy to root for him :)
13:36 Alex and Liam screaming 😂😂 epic !!!! so goood
I love this pairing. WIsh they could have a few more seasons as teammates. Alex seems like a great teammate to help Liam grow too.
I love how Albon is driving the ring with one hand on the wheel just laughing.
Alex totally deserves a second chance at F1 and Liam deserves a chance at an F1 drive
Time for Red Bull to buy a third team...
Looking good for a Williams seat
@@mariusdufour9186 Or create one via technical influence like make a new independent team but still within the RedBull family.
I also had in mind that Mercedes could make their own B Team to rival AlphaTauri and Alfa Romeo. What i had in mind was Pagani F1 Team because Pagani's production cars use Mercedes engines.
@@m.sydneyvern2260 RB Team Thailand
@@kingken130 HAH! That would be sick or for better SEA RB F1 Team
That's gotta feel good for Alex. I think that's his first race win since he was in F2, so it's definitely gotta be a relief for him.
Thanks Lewis
Alex and Liam are such a great duo!
My man Albon winning both on track and outside of it, look at that beauty! well deserved!
Props to the editors and admins giving us the Albon and Liam content we love to see. You guys are real MVP's
Albon has proven solid in testing and development. He can help Williams develop a competitive car. Plus he has a likeable personality like Russell.
we all want to see the f1 trio reunited
Imagine him and russel at williams. Probably a fan favorite team
I think Russell’s true personality is how he reacted after his crash with Bottas
@@ze89412 agree, russell is fake as a boquet of fake flowers
He mentioned at 1:00 that he would be at a race track every weekend for 7 months.
damn
Means a lot to me for someone with the same nationality and do what we both love . Keep being awesome Albon
Alex albon! F1 didn't deserve him but I want him back! Looks like loving life.
He is back with William for 2022
@@sabugdalantx it hasn't been announced yet
@@its_godlyrl2066 Yea but every f1 journalist is saying the same thing
What’s the other guy’s name. Albon teammate?
@@dbabu51 liam lawson
Classic content!! I wait for this every week..
Thanks for waiting! Hopefully you are enjoying the vlogs 🤗
@@RedBullMotorsports Liam exposing that other driver in the Red Bull meetup 7:24 is prime content
@@RedBullMotorsports editor desrves a lot of praise too
The Alex and Lily content 😍😍 Love it!
I've been looking at channel stats and this Driving DTM series is by a big margin your most successful and watched series. Please pump out more of this content and quicker!!!!!!!
Watching this now. Seeing what 2 f1 drivers were up too out of f1 is cool
I love what Red Bull is doing here and in F1
Alex and Liam seems like a great duo!! Hope to see them as teammates one day. Love to see Lily make an appearance as well😍
love these 2 together, and so happy to see alex on podium with him family and gf there to support him! plzzzzz bring him back to F1!!
Albon seems like the nicest guy ever
This guy is so humble hope he gets another change would be awesome
Love that we got to see Lily 😍
Liam always finds a way to make every story about himself. It’s funny that at the red bowl presser at the hotel he says, funny story about the first time I met this guy and then the rest of the story was about him and leading the championship and the other guy running fourth lol.
Bro the fact that he had one hand on the wheel and still loving life just shows how happy and skilled he is🤙🏾
Albono: "it was uh uh, then it was uuah ahuu"
Engineers : (´･_･`)
The true mettle of a man is how he deals with disappointment, not how he deals with victory. Liam and Alex are two of my favourite racers not only for their immense driving talent but for the lovely people they are 🙏🏻
5:22 was such a satisfying turbo sound
Alex to Williams YASSS!
From they race me so hard, to win. On the same track ! Get in there Alex 👏🏻
Happy to see Alex Albon still racing
Very Very good job Alex🇹🇭🏆
Let's go Thailand 🇹🇭
who knew 20 minutes would go by so fast! what an episode
Really happy for Albon and the whole team result! :D
Them driving around the nurburgring together was so fun to watch having a ball haha
On track Alex is seriously talented and hardworking driver. Off track Alex just brings joy to whichever team he is in.
Alex is an incredible driver but I think what is even more impressive is the feedback he is able to give his team, I think red bull f1 said the same and how much he helped with the development of the 2021 car through his feedback and runs in the simulator. He really needs another chance in f1
Might be replacing George Russell next season at Williams
Good to see Alex and Liam getting along and also that special shot of Alex gf Lily
she's cute aye
thanks for her name
@@tuchesampho2047 she professionally plays golf
really glad u guys included lily in the video. Shes probably the one who encourage alex to prove the haters wrong in the first place.
Albon flying down the straight while struggling to watch the road from laughing 😂
It's great to hear you landed on your feet after F1. Life has many twists and turns. Perhaps DTM is where you need to be right now.
Love seeing Alex happy! What a race!
The Porsche scenes are my favorite. Liam’s car sounds and both trying to frighten each other. 😂
Alex is such a legend, all round good guy and fantastic driver who is so sensitive to the car!
That Ferrari with Alpha Tauri livery looks so good
Alex knew from inside he doesn't belong here. Super happy for him in the Williams 💪👏
*Glad to see him smiling and winning again!* Sometimes in recent races, I have caught myself thinking he could have been doing a better job than PER...
Oh you mean Perez ? The guy who crashed out during warm up lap ?
The most exiting contents so far!! Thank you for always make this😁 Alex and liam is such a great duo! hope more to comes for them🙌
Love to see Alex back on the top of the podium!! Get him back to F1!!
Finally the next episode ❤️ was waiting for it!!!
nice to see super gt finally in dtm
No one really knows why, but Albono is just so fun to watch. Camera loves him
So good to see Lily here in the vid, also Congrats to Alex for winning the race!
Can never understand people who hate on Alex Albon, he 100% deserves another chance in F1. He can surely push Williams to another level and I can't wait to see that happen!
i hope you come back albon it would make the 2022 season a lot more fun
Congratulation Albon 🇹🇭
ยินดีด้วยนะน้องอเล็กซ์ 🇹🇭
I am just processing now how sportsmanship has changed over time, when we used to say 'may the best win' in the past, we now say 'good luck have fun'.
I love the way they casually get filmed while drinking the night before a race 😂
You can bet there is no alcohol in this lounge, only redbull & other soft drinks 😅
Super GT carer is really skyrocketing right now. Well done!
love the ferrari. such a pretty beast. Italians really know how to union beauty and power
Nice drive by Alex, still proud of him.
And the Liam and Marcus rivalry stories continue... 7:21
He is working so hard testing the 2022 f1 car, sim for redbull and winning DTM races
Both really talented and both deserve to be at the top
I love this partnership. I wish to see this in F1 honestly.
That Ferrari Alpha Tauri looks beautiful
Man that Ferrari in the Red Bull and Alpha Tauri livery, it looks so cool.
DEDICATED CHANNEL PLEASE, I need more Alex & Liam
This Albon guy seems really good, he should drive F1.
What's so good about him? He's in the 5th place in standings after 5 rounds.
@@LG-dt7lg you obviously don't know about his junior career and that this is the first time he's driving in a touring car series which is vastly different from F1 against other much more experienced DTM drivers. But you're entitled to your own opinion ;)
@@sirlancelot7104 and what's so special about his junior career and two years in f1?
Still cheering for Albon in 2023!
Those unlucky Punctures for Liam :/
Great job for Alex!! miss him in F1
Glad to see SuperGT on DTM!
Best part is the part where they are driving on The Ring in the Porsche and scaring the sh*t out of each other 😂
You guys should upload more of these DTM contents! 🔥🔥
Best dtm of the World 2022
Glad to see you happy
Underrated comment
Cheers Alex! Won the race and you got a dime piece on your arm.
SuperGT is going up in the world! Congrat's Scott Chegg!
He looks really happy. So proud.. so, so proud.
good for alex! we will see him in F1 again surely
Yet another well deserved @SuperGT win
He is more calm now ,than he was back then at Redbull racing F1
Monster Albon is back to winning. Impressive
This guy deserves another chance.
Because he is half Thai right? Why do so many people hate him, but to me, he's a man of determination. A very talented and patient man. I am proud of you Alex from Thailand.
I’m expecting to see Tommo here in just a little bit now
5:21 DAMN,that sound made my day once again
I Love Alex! Such a great guy and driver!
Alex the man 😎🇹🇭
this guy deserves another chance in f1
